Aidan Murray, Teagasc Beef Specialist, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss what beef price you can afford to pay for stock, what impact costs have on the bottom line and what price will be needed to cover these costs.

Aidan first compares the figures to date to show that the national kill has decreased from the same time last year. 

While beef prices for purchasing are increasing, the variable costs have decreased since last year. 

Aidan then outlines a number of different beef systems and the expected prices.
